"I love this so much and want to say thanks! I have spent years finding it extremely difficult to sleep ect and for the first time in what feels like forever I have had a few really good nights sleep thx to this app! Would recommend to all"

"I often woke up about two in the morning and could not go back to sleep for love not money. Now with this app is easy to go back to sleep."

"Insomnia went away with 1 use"

"I have been an insomniac all my life and to a point have learnt to live with it…on some occasions I get very frustrated with my mind for ‘jumping’ into alert state as soon as my head hits the pillow and it was on one of these occasions that I came across this app…I AM IN SHOCK!!In all my 41yrs I have never come across anything that has actually worked – I can honestly say this app has CHANGED MY LIFE!! I am now on night 7 of solid sleep and the more you listen the easier it gets – I thought I’d get bored of every night listening to the same voice saying the same thing but I actually look forward to plugging in my ear phones!! I am waking up more tired at the moment but in a different way – almost as if my body is relaxing in a way it never has so it’s finally starting to catch up on 41yrs of dreadful sleep deprivation!!"

Location services tracks you

Nov 9, 2017

Neekoboy

As noted by another reviewer this app does turn on your location services. When the app is turned on, the hollow location services arrow appears in the upper right corner of your screen. This is the arrow the is defined by Apple as one that allows an app to track your location under certain situations. It does disputes when you completely close out of the app, i.e. double click home and swipe app from running in the background.

What is more concerning is that the app developer denies this with the other review as well. They really need to investigate their own software to see if it is a bug or come clean and admit they track location.

Just to be clear SurfCity, I went into locations services and notifications and turned off all other apps. When I run your app the location arrow still appears. The only way to stop this is to completely off location services but that is not ideal as I use it for other features.

Lastly, what is even more strange is that their app does not appear in locations services, notifications, or app listings. It is as though you install it and it operates outside the normal Apple parameters. Truly an odd situation and scary that it does engage tracking and they will not admit it.

Overall, the app itself does work well and the voice you hear is soothing and relaxing.

However, I must rate a 1 Star because of the location service issue.

Developer Response

Nov 19, 2017

Thank you for your interest in our apps. I understand your concern. However, I assure you our app does not use Location Services, and it is not possible to use that feature of the iOS operating system without appearing in the list of apps that use Location Services (Settings > Privacy > Location Services). To properly test it, disable Location Services individually for each app that uses it AND each item under System Services (which appears at the bottom of the list) until the location services indicator is gone. Then launch our app. As you'll see, the indicator does not appear. We have confirmed this on multiple devices. Many other features on the device may use Location Services, such as HomeKit, so it's perfectly normal for the change intermittently from hollow to solid based on background activity of other apps and operating system features. If you have further questions, please contact our support department and we'll be happy to help.

It tracks you

This app is helpful in falling asleep, but whenever I use it, the little gps symbol appears in the corner of my screen, and there is no way of disabling it other than turning off location services for your phone completely. So why are they tracking where I sleep, and why am I not allowed to turn that off without turning off location services to my phone completely?

Edit: in response to the devs denying tracking - I did extensive testing, and with nothing running in the background the gps symbol appears about 10 seconds after opening the app, and disappears about 30 seconds after closing the app. I don't know why they'd want to know where I am when I'm sleeping, but it is really kinda creepy. Hopefully it's just some weird bug, but this kind of thing usually means they're selling that information to someone.

Thanks for your interest in our apps. Actually, our apps do not use Location Services. All apps that use Location Services are listed in the Settings app > Privacy > Location Services. As you’ll see, our apps don’t appear there. The Location Services symbol appears when any app has used it recently, not necessarily the currently open app, so I believe a different app is responsible for that symbol appearing on your phone. Please contact us at https://support.surfcityapps.com with any questions.

Finally getting a good nights sleep!

Sep 30, 2017

I have experienced insomnia for awhile and have tried everything I could think of just to get some sleep at night. I have practiced this type of relaxation technique on my own but in recent years it just wasn't working anymore. I stumbled across this app and tried the free version for a week. That week was the first time in years where I was able to fall asleep in minutes of using the app. So I bought the paid version and I'm very happy with it. I did try to fall asleep one night without the app and it was just like before. I maybe got 2 hours of sleep that night. Clearly the app works for me and I heartily endorse it.
